“ How easy it is, Doctor, to be a philosopher on paper, and how hard it is in life!”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Books are not made to be believed, but to be subjected to inquiry. When we consider a book, we mustn't ask ourselves what it says but what it means...”
The Name of The Rose • Umberto Eco““Sometimes we go to a play and after the curtain has been up five minutes we have a sense of being able to settle back in the arms of the playwright."”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“It might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of spirit should be measured according to how much of the "truth" one could still barely endure--or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“The idea of beauty is the fundamental idea of everything. In the world we see only distortions of the fundamental idea, but art, by imagination, may lift itself to the height of this idea. Art is therefore akin to creation.”
What is art? • Leo Tolstoy
